   What's best?

   From: turnkey@q.com   
      
   Situation - 2lane (1 each direction) heavily traveled highway with passing   
   opportunities sparse due to curves and hills.  Posted 60 'flow' about 65.   
      
   I set cruise 64/65 and rarely get passed or pass someone.  I don't even try to   
   pass unless they are less than the posted.  Say I catch up to someone doing   
   about 61 (happened again today) so I slow to that pace.  Okay, you are behind   
   me, which do you    
   prefer?   
      
   1.  that I close up to a 2second distance behind the lead to allow you to,   
   opportunity allowing, pass both of us at once?   
      
   2.  Drop back far enough that you can pass me and then the lead in separate   
   passes?   
      
   Yes, I will pull over if traffic backs up but there is really no point in   
   doing so as they will just stack up behind that lead vehicle.
